All transfers, accommodation, meals and excursions in New York, and flights from HCMC to New York will be covered by NAE. Students will be responsible for visas, travel insurance, and spending money.

Students will be accompanied by members of staff from NAE schools within the South East Asia Region, though not necessarily a member of BIS HCMC staff. Students and staff will meet at Tan Son Nhat International Airport, to travel to New York and arrive on Wednesday 12th July. They will be greeted at JFK on arrival by staff from the Education Team, and will be taken to a hotel in central New York in the Midtown area. Students will be sharing twin rooms, with 2 same sex students per room.

Following this application, shortlisted students will be invited to complete a group task and short interview on Saturday 25th February. More information will be sent out to successful students after the application deadline.
